The touch pad will usually be dark if it has not been used for a few minutes. Tap the touch pad and the RCS logo will appear. Touch again and you should be presented with a row of persistent icons on the left side: '''Video Sources''', '''Mic Volume''', '''Tech Tools''', and '''Off?'''.

When the MPR is being used as a single meeting space, the Video Sources command screen will indicate Rooms are in '''Combined Mode'''. Underneath this legend are five icons, '''West Panel''', '''Center Panel''', '''East Panel''', '''West Apple TV''', and '''East Apple TV'''. Underneath these icons are three zones: '''West Screen''' to the left, '''East Screen''' to the right, with '''Rear HDMI Plate''' centered below them. If you are presenting from the customary location using a cabled connection near the main (West) doorway, touch and hold-drag the West Panel icon into ''all three'' zones. To project just to the West screen, omit dragging the icon to the East Screen zone. If you have a macOS laptop or a iPhone/iPad, you can connect using the '''West''' and '''East''' Apple TV sources in the same manner as cabled connections. | When the MPR is being used as a single meeting space, the Video Sources command screen will indicate Rooms are in '''Combined Mode'''.
